Introduction Thank you for your purchase of a StarTech.com Dual Profile PCI Express I/O card. This convenient I/O solution utilizes a native, single-chip design for maximum performance and reliability, and includes an optional low profile bracket that allows the card to be installed in virtually any size/ form factor case.
Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your computer case or touching your PCI Express card. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
Setting Power Mode This card is specially designed to allow for power output from the ninth pin of the DB9 connector(s) for devices that support power over serial. This card allows users to set each port with 5V, 12V, or RI (no power). Users can also choose to draw the necessary power from the system power supply by connecting to the LP4 power connector.
Software Installation When the computer is booted up following the physical installation of the PCI Express card, the operating system will detect the presence of the card within the computer system and prompt for software installation: 1. The Found New Hardware Wizard will appear. When asked if you want Windows to search for software, select No, not this time, then click Next to continue: 2.
Verifying Installation To verify that the installation was successful in Windows 2000/XP/Vista: 1. Right-click on My Computer and select Manage to open the Computer Management window. 2. In the left pane, select Device Manager. 3. In the right pane, click on Ports (COM & LPT). You should see the newly added port(s) listed here: Instruction Manual...
